There was only one head coachof the Georgia Bulldogs football team in the 1910s. Since Georgia did not field a team in 1917 or 1918 due to World War I, W. A. Cunningham coached the bulldogs for eight seasons. Although the team had slipped below .500 as the result of a poor showing in the first decade of the season, Cunningham's teams had enough success to pull Georgia's cumulative record back above .500.
